Language Workshop

Allow our fluent Irish speakers to teach you a few words in our native Irish tongue. Irish, or Gaeilge, as it is commonly known is the language of our ancestors and is still used in many areas of Ireland today. Learn about our distinct accents here on the Causeway Coast and see how it has been influenced by the Irish, the Scottish and the English language to form what we know as the Ulster Scots dialect.

Irish Dance Workshop

Our local Irish dancers are World Champions and after letting them mesmerise you with their skills at the start of our workshops, you will understand why. Allow them to showcase the wide array of traditional and more contemporary Irish dances before learning a few steps for yourselves guaranteed to impress.
